Diptera: Sarcophagidae) and a New Generic Synonym ARTICLE On the identity of Lepidodexia (Orosarcophaga) ornata (Townsend, 1927) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) and a new generic synonym Cátia Antunes de Mello-Patiu¹² & Paula Raile Riccardi¹³ ¹ Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Museu Nacional (MN), Departamento de Entomologia.

The revision of the sarcophagid species Lepidodexia (Orosarcophaga) ornata (Townsend, 1927) reveals its identity and a generic synonym. The male terminalia of this species was studied in detail for the first time and revealed its congeneric affinities with Oxyvinia Dodge, 1966. Consequently, the generic status of Orosarcophaga Townsend, 1927 was revalidated, including Oxyvinia Dodge, 1966 as its junior synonym, and O. ornata was corroborated as a valid species and name. Moreover, we provide an updated generic diagnosis of Orosarcophaga, a list of the eleven species of the genus with their distribution, and a detailed diagnosis of O. ornata. Keywords.

Brasil 4365, 21045-900 Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil 3Departamento de Ciências Naturais, Universidade Federal de São João del Rei, São João del Rei, MG, Brasil We report for the first time the expression of multiple protease activities in the first instar larva (L1) of the flesh fly Oxysarcodexia thornax (Walker). Zymographic analysis of homogenates from freshly obtained L1 revealed a complex proteolytic profile ranging from 21.5 to 136 kDa. Although some activities were detected at pH 3.5 and 5.5, the optimum pH for most of the proteolytic activities was between pH 7.5 and 9.5. Seven of 10 proteases were completely inactivated by phenyl-methyl sulfonyl-fluoride, suggesting that main proteases expressed by L1 belong to serine proteases class. Complete inactivation of all enzymatic activities was obtained using N-p-Tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (100 µM), a specific inhibitor of chymotrypsin-like serine proteases.

Recently, popula- tions of flies have increased in numbers given the elevated levels of organic matter waste produced by anthropic activities and domestication of animals. Such increase represents a worldwide health concern, since flies can be vectors of human diseases. The great variety of feeding and developmental habits of flies of the family Sarcophagidae taking place on animal corpses, feces and decomposed organic matter make them potential vec- tors of pathogens. Herein, we evaluated the synanthropic index (SI), as well as other ecological aspects of this family, through simultaneous monthly samplings in three areas with different degrees of human disturbance (urban, rural and forest). Each area had four van Someren Rydon traps, each one with a different bait (i.e., human feces, chicken viscera, fish and decomposing onion). Traps were active during 48 hours each month, and specimen collection was made every 12 hours. A total of 7 446 Sarcophagidae individuals were collected (1 275 males and 6 171 females), belonging to 27 species and nine genera.

  • Diversity of Sarcophagidae (Insecta, Diptera) Associated with Decomposing Carcasses in a Rural Area of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Universidade Estadual de Campinas. 2. Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. EntomoBrasilis 12 (3): 118-125 (2019) Abstract. Cerrado biome presents high biodiversity, but it still lacks works that focus on entomological inventories. New records for species of Sarcophagidae were provided, including the first record of Blaesoxipha (Acridiophaga) caridei (Brèthes) to Brazil, and new occurrences of the following species for the Cerrado and/or for the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil: Blaesoxipha (Acanthodotheca) acridiophagoides (Lopes & Downs), Oxysarcodexia mineirensis Souza & Paseto, Oxysarcodexia occulta Lopes, Nephochaetopteryx orbitalis (Curran & Walley), Ravinia effrenata (Walker) and Sarcophaga (Neobellieria) polistensis (Hall). These flies are necrophagous and lay first instar larvae directly of the substrate for feeding and development. Pig carcasses were used as animal model for monitoring the decaying process and attractiveness to insects. This study aimed to evaluate the diversity and abundance of adult Sarcophagidae collected from eight pig carcasses exposed in two different environments at a rural area, and to identify which species used the carcasses as rearing substrates for the immatures. The experiment was carried out until the end of the carcasses decomposition, and lasted 49 days during the dry and cool season (2012), and 30 days during the wet and warm season (2013).
